Prize Pig - StolenRecipes.net (2024)

I stole this recipe for Prize Pig from a cookbook called Magnolia Table: Volume 2. These tasty biscuits can be started the night before. First bacon is cooked in the oven and chopped. Then dough is made with flour, baking powder and baking soda that butter is cut into. Next, eggs and buttermilk are mixed before adding the cooked bacon. The dough rests for an hour or overnight. Biscuits are cut and brushed with an egg wash. The biscuits are baked until golden. These biscuits are a tasty addition to any brunch or breakfast or any time you want bacon.

For this recipe you will need: 1 lb peppered bacon, 4 cups self rising flour, 2 tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, ¾ lb cold salted butter, 3 large eggs, 1 ½ to 2 cups buttermilk, 4 oz cheddar cheese, 4 oz white cheddar cheese and ¼ cup minced chives.

Line sheet pan with parchment paper, lay bacon on top. Place in oven while preheats to 400 F and bake for a total of 20 minutes. Blot grease from bacon with paper towels. Dice.

Then in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and baking soda.

Next add the butter and use a pastry blender to cut the butter until pea size.

Use a wooden spoon to stir in the 2 eggs until combined. Stir in 1 ½ cups of the buttermilk until the dough comes together into a sticky mass. If not sticky enough add more buttermilk, 1 tbsp at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the diced bacon, cheeses and chives until well incorporated, do not over mix.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight. Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Press dough into large round roughly 14 inches across. Line baking sheet with parchment. Use a 3 ½ inch biscuit cutter to out 20 rounds. Transfer biscuits to lined pan, arranging them so they all are touching.

Then in a small dish, whisk the remaining 1 egg and 1 tbsp buttermilk. Brush mixture over biscuits. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 F. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Let cool slightly in the pan on a rack. Enjoy as a biscuit or make a sandwich with some eggs.
